" ATHENE ET FASTI OXONIENSES," to Rev. Dr. Increase Mather, respect- ing Mr. Newman ; and may be found in the Mass. Hist. Coll. vol. VII. p. 187, New Series.
"Sir your kind and civil letter I have received for which I doe by these returne you thanks. As for the age of Sam. Newman (65) it agrees with my manuscript, but the county, you say wherein he was borne (York- shire) doth not. For my Sam. Newman, whom I take to be him of Re- hoboth and author of the Concordance, was borne in Oxfordshire."
The letter of which this is an extract is dated
" From my lodging neare
Merton Coll. in Oxford.
12 June, 1690."
Wood was probably misled by the incorrectness of the date of the death of Mr. Newman, and his age, erroneously stated to him by Dr. Mather, to suppose the two Samuel Newmans mentioned in his sketch might be different individuals; whereas it is very evident, that the accounts both relate to the same person, and that the "Sam. Newman," who " entered Magd. coll. in the condition of a servitour," in 1616, at the age of 16, was the same with " him of Rehoboth, and author of the Con- cordance."

Now this third impression corrected and annexed in many things form- erly omitted, for the good both of Scholars and others ; far exceeding the most perfect that was ever extant in our Language, both in ground-work and building.

APPENDIX.
The first advertisement to the reader is written by DANIEL FEATLY ; and the second (for there are two,) by W. GOUGE.
The following is an extract from the latter, giving an account of the concordances that had been written in English, previous to this one.
"There have been many years since English Indexes of proper Hebrew and Greek names, with their significations, and T'ables of the principal points contained in the Bible ; and some so large, as they carry the Title of Concordances ; ( amongst which the brief Concordance lately collected by Mr. John Doronham, Bachelor in Divinity, and allowed by Authority to be bound with the Bible in all Volumes, may well deserve the precedency;) yet have they come short of perfect Concordances."
Then follows an account of the concordance compiled by CLEMENT COTTON. " He made his first essay in the year 1622, on the New Testa- ment, according to the English Translation, begun at Geneva, in Queen Marie's dayes, by such learned divines as there found great entertainment ; and in the year 1627, he added thereunto a Concordance of the Old Tes- tament, according to the last and best English Translation. But observing how inconvenient it was, that one part of his Concordance should be of one Translation, the other of another, like the Bear, he still continued to liek over his works ; and in the year 1631, published .A compleat Concor- dance of the whole Bible, according to the aforesaid last Translation." He next added to these a concordance of the Apocrypha. Cotton's, however, the writer states to be deficient in many respects, and points out the particulars ; but says that Newman's is more perfect than any be- fore published in the English language.
On the outside of the first lid is stamped in gilt letters
SVB AVSPICHIS WILHEMI III.
On the back is stamped NEWMAN'S CONCORDANCE.
C. p. 55.
The following is the statement referred to, in the life of the Rev. Hugh Peters by the Rev. Samuel Peters, L. L. D. in which the authorship of the Concordance written at Rehoboth (or Seekonk), is ascribed to Cruden.
" The Rev. Mr. Cruden, an eminent scholar in the university of Cam- bridge, England, being a meek and pious man, but also a puritan, emi- grated to Boston and was settled by Dr. Mather and Mr. Cotton, at a place called Rehoboth, four miles east of the town of Providence, in the state of Rhode Island, the most barren soil in Massachusetts; for Mather and Cotton acted like moderators or bishops at that time in Boston, and named the town Rehoboth, because the word means, " the Lord hath made room for his beloved." It also was a frontier against the Pequod Indians, at the head of a creek emptying into Narragansett bay ; where were plenty of fish and oysters, on which the settlers might live and protect Boston, if the Indians did not scalp them.
" This pious elergyman, with his pions companions, not knowing their danger, went and formed the settlement of Rehoboth : the seite being pleasant, the air salubrious, and the prospect horrible. But the innocence of Cruden and his followers conciliated the savages, and they became friendly. They built a church, and encircled it with a set of houses like a half moon, facing the creek, where they worshipped the Creator with
284
APPENDIX.
great devotion, and Cruden taught their children the arts and sciences gratis. That town is yet famous in New-England for the education of its children. In that barren soil, Cruden spent a useful life, and made to him- self a name in the christian church, that will last as long as the Bible. There he formed the first Concordance of the Old and New Testaments, which was ever made in the English tongue. It was adopted and printed by the university of Cambridge in England, and, with additions and im- provements, has passed through many editions, still under the name of' Cruden's Concordance.
" The ingenuity and Herculean labor displayed in this necessary index of the bible even astonished the old and new world : but Cruden got no money for the copy, either in New or Old England; yet he gained ever- lasting fame in Christendom, and Butler, in his Hudibras, fixed immortal- ity on Cruden's wisdom, perseverance and patience, in making his Con- cordance, at Rehoboth, bordering on Seekonk Plain, as barren as the Numidian sands, by his sarcastic distich ; viz.
---- Hebrew roots are found " To flourish best in barren ground."
Alluding to Cruden's ingenuity at Rehoboth, and to the wisdom of Moses on Mount Sinai.
"Cruden's posterity are numerous and respectable in New-England. His eldest son returned to England, and was inch esteemed both in the pulpit and out of it ; and one of his sons was the eminent and venerable presbyterian minister of the church near Covent Garden, so highly insulted by Lord George Gordon, one of his parishioners in 1780, because he prayed extempore, and sung by book, and preached by notes; which his lordship said, proved an absurdity, for Cruden prayed by the Spirit, but did not sing and preach by the Spirit."
It would be a waste of time to merely point out the errors in this short statement ; and besides, they are too gross and apparent to escape the most casual observation. The extract is made only to show its absurdity, and as a enriosity, to excite the surprise of the reader, that an author, though he sought not for truth, should not sometimes, by accident at least, stumble upon it. How our author could have confounded the events in the lives of two individuals, who lived at the distance of' a century from each oth- er, it is impossible to conceive; as well as to detect in the quotation from Butler, any very obvious reference, to either Newman, Cruden, Moses, or Seekonk Plain. The following are the lines referred to : the poet, in set- ting forth the literary acquirements of his hero, says,
" For Hebrew roots, altho' they're found To flourish most in barren ground, He had such plenty, as suffic'd To make some think him circumcised." Hudibras, Pt. I., Cant. I., line 59.
The following quotation from " Johnson's Wonder-working Providence of Sion's Savior, in New-England," if deficient in poetical excellence, is at least more definite as to the person it would immortalize ; and, as Mr. Peters has attempted to eull for our worthy minister a sprig of immortal- ity, (though he made a slight mistake in the name,) we shall be excused for reaching forth the hand to pluck another, bearing his own image and superscription. We give it by way of curiosity.

[We here give a brief notice of the Factories, &c. in Rehoboth and Seekonk, the materials for which were not obtained in season to be in- serted in their proper place.]
ORLEANS FACTORY. The Cotton Factory on Palmer's River, Reho- both, is situated at the head of tide water, and was built in the year 1811, by a company which was afterwards incorporated by the name of the " Palmer's River Manufacturing Co." The principal stock-holders in this company were, Asa Bullock, and Barnard Wheeler, Esqs. and Capt. Israel Nichols and others of Rehoboth ; Thomas Church and John llow, Esqs. and Capt. Benjamin Norris, of Bristol ; and Richmond Bullock, Esq. of Providence. The business of manufacturing cotton was prosecuted by this company with various snecess for a number of years, when they Jeased out the estate to Mr. Nathan Sweetland for several years, until about 1821 or 1822; at which time they sold out the whole Company's property to Ebenezer Ide and others. They continued the business under the name of the Ide Manufacturing Co. until 1825, when they became embarrassed and sold the real and personal estate separately. David Wil- kinson, Esqr. and others purchased the real estate, and gave it a thorough repair and put in new machinery, consisting of 48 looms with spindles and preparation to supply them. The spindles consisted entirely of the kind called mules, and this was the first successful attempt to use this kind of spindles, for warp as well as weft in this country. This com- pany assumed the name of the "Orleans Manufacturing Co." aud com- meneed the making of fine cloths for calico printing, which were then in good demand. They continued to prosecute that business with good success, until the memorable embarrassments which pervaded the man- ufacturing interest throughout New England, in 1829 and 1830, when Messrs. David Wilkinson and Co. who were the principal owners, failed, and the estate was sold to Mr. Benjamin Peek, (who had been concerned in the former company,) and others who continued the business under the same name, until November 10, 1832, when the principal factory building was entirely consumed by fire with the most part of the ma- chinery. The same company rebuilt the mill the year following upon the same foundation with stone. It is 72 feet by 40, two stories high, with attic and basement stories, and contains 60 looms, with spindles and preparation to supply the same. It is now owned by Messrs. Benjamin Peck and James Hf. Mumford of Rehoboth, and Asa Pierce, Esq. of" Providence.
REHOBOTH UNION MANUFACTURING COMPANY. The building of this company was erected in 1809. The company consisted of Dexter Wheeler, Richard Goff, Stephen Carpenter, Thomas Carpenter, James Carpenter, and Peter Carpenter. The number of spindles is 360, hands, about 14, and the number of pounds of yarn manufactured per week is 550. The principal owners now are Nelson and Darius Goff, and Ste-

phen Carpenter. The first agent was James Carpenter, the second, David Anthony, and the present is William Marvel.
SEEKONK CENTRAL FACTORY Was erected in the spring of 1810. The present occupants are Henry Stone & Co. They manufacture from 6 to 7 thousand yards of sheeting per week, and employ 60 hands. The number of spindles is 2009, and of looms, 42. This factory is situated on the ten-mile river, one mile from its month.
HUNT'S MILLS, Seekonk, embrace a Grist and Saw Mill, Carding Ma- chines, Clothier's Works, and a small Cotton Factory. This factory runs 864 spindles, 21 looms, manufactures printing cloths, and employs about 20 hands. It was erected in 1822.
COVE FACTORY, Seckonk, contains 3000 spindles and 72 looms, employs about 60 hands, and manufactures cloths, of No. 30. The present occu- pants are Bosworth, Blake & Co.
[ROBERT THE HERMIT. Since the account of Robert the Herinit, found in our Biographical Sketches, was in type, I have been favored, through the kindness of Albert G. Greene, Esq. of Providence, with some farther particulars respecting the life of that anchorite after the date of the publication of the Memoir from which our account was derived. They are as follows :]
Soon after the publication of the "Narrative," by Mr. Trumbull, in 1829, the proceeds from the sale of which were intended for the relief of Robert, Mr. T. contracted with a carpenter to build a comforta- ble dwelling for him. While this was in progress, the hut in which he dwelt was consumed by fire, originating in the carelessness or mischief of some idle boys. After the loss of his hut, Robert was prevailed upon to take up his quarters in a neighboring house, until his own was com- pleted. He removed to his new dwelling, in the winter of 1830. His health soon after began to fail, and his illness terminated in consumption. In March 1832, it was remarked by the occupants of the toll-house at the " Lower Bridge," as it is called, that he had not been seen for several days; and on going to his house, they found him in an almost dying con- dition. He said that he had not suffered much, except from the want of water. Every assistance was rendered him until his death, which took place on Sunday, April 1, 1832.
The following are exact fac-similes of the original signatures of three of the signers of the compact for the government of the town, found at page 28; viz. Walter Palmer, Ralph Shepherd, and the Rev. Samuel Newman.
